Craftsman GT6000 RUNS POORLY! Needs some TLC! Complete CARBURETOR REBUILD Demo - Kohler Magnum 18HP

This Craftsman GT6000 is from the early 1990's. It was given to me a handful of years ago by my neighbor. It had belonged to former Philadelphia Flyer's forward Brian Propp, who previously owned the property directly behind mine. For me, an avid Flyers' hockey fan, it is special to have this machine. (Plus, it's just a great tractor!) In today's video we'll give it some needed maintenance and a complete carburetor cleaning and rebuild. Afterward, you'll see this Kohler Magnum 18HP running like new again! #philadelphiaflyers ‪@BrianPropp‬ ‪@FlyersHockey-‬ #flyershockey #kohler #craftsman
